If we are going to live on mission, then we have to be committed to thinking like missionaries. That means we have to evaluate what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, why we’re doing it, and what we consider successful.

Most of us find ourselves exhausted by all the demands of life because we’re doing too many things that don’t really matter and failing to focus on what matters most. If we’re going to reclaim the call of Christ, then we have to prioritize the priority of Christ.

Jesus never calls people to be glorified cheerleaders. He always calls people to become kingdom contributors.

Within the final words of the letter of 1 Peter, Peter concludes with an Encouragement, a Warning, and a reminder of the Hope we have.

The church has an opportunity to show the world a better way to live. One of the best ways we can do that is by how church leaders relate to church members and how church members relate to church leaders.

Following Christ will create friction in your life. There will be moments of spiritual crisis where the values of this world and the values of Christ collide. How you respond in those moments matters because how you respond in those moments reveals something about the authenticity of your faith.

In this message pastor Jared challenges us to live for Jesus because Jesus is the only one worth living for.

How can you be an effective witness for Christ?

How do we live lives changed by Jesus?

How do we live free of fear?

How can we experience God’s blessing in our life and in the church?
